Pros
The atmosphere at Cardinal is very laid back. Work / life balance is very good. Pay exceeds (by quite a bit in some cases) what other employers in the area are paying for similar positions. The potential for career advancement seems good. Time off and benefits are for the most part decent and reasonably priced.
Cons
I can't say I have ever worked somewhere with such a high level of general apathy. It seems that the overwhelming majority of management and employees alike are committed to doing the absolute least amount of work possible in any given situation, regardless of how it affects the business or our customers. Competence seems low. There is no common goal, focus, or team spirit. It's an every-man-for-himself environment. I have lost count of the number of times that there have been issues affecting customers' ability to find or order products, that when brought to the attention of the appropriate people were either met with flat denial or total lack of concern. I can't speak for the rest of the company, but in IT at least, compared to other Fortune 500 companies that I've worked for, it is very much Amateur Hour at Cardinal.
